Our story began when our founders witnessed firsthand how impactful civil society work can be—yet how fragile it becomes without stable, predictable funding. This persistent challenge inspired the creation of Yayasan Pundi Asa Manusia in 2023, a foundation built on three essentials: Pundi (fund), Asa (hope), and Manusia (people).

Our mission rests on three interconnected processes: mobilizing resources, managing funds, and delivering thoughtful, strategic grantmaking. Here’s a closer look at how each element comes together:
We tap into the power of community, mobilizing public support through online campaigns and creative offline fundraising activities. Every donation and every participation helps fuel our mission and brings the cause closer to the public, building broader awareness and support.
We welcome strategic contributions from individuals, groups, and institutions who believe in the cause. Whether through a direct contribution or by making us the beneficiary of your own fundraising efforts, your support helps build a lasting foundation for human rights work to thrive.
We pursue high-value grants from institutions that share our commitment and allow us to expand the core of our endowment fund, building a permanent resource that can support human rights work for generations, while maintaining our independence.
